7. Enjoy:

Tips:

- For a less spicy version, you can reduce the amount of red hot chili pepper or remove its seeds before chopping.

- If you prefer a vegetarian or vegan option, you can substitute the chicken broth cubes with vegetable broth.

- Ensure that your vegetables are evenly sliced to provide consistent texture and flavor throughout the slaw.

- Allow the slaw to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
